Examples of forgiver in a Sentence
Be a forgiver creature not a revenge taker because contentness from forgiving someone is more persuasive than hatred.
The power of forgiveness frees both the forgiver and the forgiven.
Not to forgive is to be imprisoned by the past, by old grievances that do not permit life to proceed with new business. Not to forgive is to yield oneself to another's control... to be locked into a sequence of act and response, of outrage and revenge, tit for tat, escalating always. The present is endlessly overwhelmed and devoured by the past. Forgiveness frees the forgiver. It extracts the forgiver from someone else's nightmare.
